More Snow Update -- Don't start shoveling yet

Got an email from the Washington Post. The snow is still falling. They say 26 inches, and I can already see much more than that. It must be variable by area -- microclimate and such. With the Chesapeake Bay, Potomac River, Atlantic Ocean, and Shennendoah Mountains all coming into play, the area weather is inconsistent.
